Fontaines D.C. - Romance (CD)

The highly-anticipated fourth studio album from Fontaines D.C., Romance, marks a significant evolution for the band. This record is their most assured, inventive, and sonically adventurous to date, produced by James Ford. Building on the success of their acclaimed 2022 album Skinty Fia, which topped the UK and Irish album charts, Romance showcases the band's expansive creative vision.
